Abstract

Summary: We have used the process of electrospinning to produce fibers of poly(dicyclopentadiene) with diameters on the submicron scale. The material, formed from a monomer‐catalyst solution, polymerized in flight during the electrospinning process. Fibers were collected over trenches etched in silicon and the Young's moduli were measured using an atomic force microscope to measure force‐displacement curves. The resulting values of Young's moduli are larger than typical values for bulk polymer material.

Photochromic poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-co-HFP) fibers were prepared by electrospinning from a solution of copolymer and ester-functionalized nitrospiropyran (SPEST) molecules. The surface and internal features of the electrospun (ES) fibers were characterized by scanning
